FBI pick Wray faces intense vetting amid loyalty concerns
The Washington Post reports President Trump nominated government lawyer Christopher Wray to head the FBI, with lawmakers demanding rigorous scrutiny of his past roles, readiness to resist White House pressure, and independence from politics. Wray's Bush era work on major fraud cases and ties to Christie are noted as areas for careful examination. The key issue is whether Wray will uphold FBI independence amid questions about loyalty demands and Russia probe discussions.
